The Dignity Project: A Quiet Revolution

We want to do something about it.

What is The Dignity Project by Alora?

The Dignity Project represents our commitment to inspiring businesses, organizations, and communities across Texas to take meaningful steps toward inclusion.

Our training is led by dedicated facilitators who have worked closely with individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) and neurodivergent children, teens, and adults. These instructors, who are themselves AuDHD (autistic and ADHD), bring a rare and deeply personal perspective. Their lived experiences, combined with years of professional expertise, offer participants invaluable insight into the world as seen through the eyes of neurodivergent individuals.

This training—available in person or via Zoom—is designed to empower businesses, educators, caregivers, volunteers, and community leaders to build meaningful connections with neurodivergent individuals. Together, we can create workplaces and communities that honor dignity, respect, and inclusion for all.
